Undergraduate Programs
Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science in Mathematics
The undergraduate curriculum in mathematics and statistics is comprised of courses in the broad areas of
algebra, analysis, applied mathematics and statistics.
Degree Requirements
For a bachelor's degree in mathematics, students must satisfy the general requirements of The College of Arts and Sciences and complete the
program described below.
Degree requirements are
Mathematics 210,
220 and
250,
and a minimum of 21 hours of coursework in mathematics at the 300-level or
above, including
Mathematics 300,
the capstone course
402, and either
410 or
420. To obtain a
bachelor's degree in mathematics, a student must satisfactorily complete at
least four courses at the 300-level or above in the mathematics department at UMKC. The bachelor of science degree in mathematics requires a minimum of 60 credit hours of combined mathematics and science coursework.
Suggested Plan of Study
Because of the diversity of acceptable programs available, a four-year
plan of study is not suggested. Students are cautioned, however, that certain
mathematics courses must be taken in the appropriate sequence.
Students should consult with a department
mathematics adviser to plan a program of study.
Minor in Mathematics
A minor in mathematics may be obtained by completing a total of 20 hours
of mathematics courses at the 200-level or above, including Calculus I and II,
and three courses at the 300-level or above in the department.
Teacher Certification in Mathematics
Certification as a middle school (grades 5-9) or secondary school (grades 9-12) Mathematics teacher in either Kansas or Missouri requires that a student complete specific requirements both in Mathematics and in the School of Education. A separate application for teacher education is required.
